This invention relates to an improved means for making artificial eyesforQdolls,

display-figures or other manikins, "andhas particular reference to theaccurate formae tion of the individual artificial eye members for asleeping doll whereby the pupils "of the .respective eye members will beproperly centered with'relation to the eyeopenings in the wall of thedollhead notwithstanch ing the possible non-symmetricalformation of saidhead wall or the inaccurate formation of the eye member. l

Essentially,- my present invention consists in first forming a sheet ofcelluloid, sheet metal or other ductile material having an eye pupildelineated thereon into aIhollow-shell; then adjusting the shell uponasuitable support to position the eye pupilfrelative' to a planeintersectingthegeometric axis of the shell as determined by theparticular relation to the eye opening in the doll head wall withrespectto a perpendicular plane parallel to 7 the axls of oscillation ofanoscillatory eye setting, and thereafter providing the eye member withmeans located in saidplane,

to engage a part of the eye setting movable about the axis ofoscillation. IThus when oscillatory motion is transmitted to the eyemember by the eye setting mounted'on the doll'head wall by reason ofcontact of the eye shell with said part ofthe settingfthe.

eye pupil will becentrallypositioned in the eye opening of the head wallnotwithstand ing the fact that the horizontal axis of said.

Hertof bre artificial jeyes' for dolls have 100 Y ductile or workablematerial. Theeye pupil and the upper eyelid are printed or otherwisedelineated upon one side of the sheet material before it is subjected tothe die pressure and formed into a shell. It; not infre quently happens,that due to.,,structural inequalities in the material, or to unequalresistance to the drawing; pressure, after the shell has been formed,theeye pupil is found to be ofiset or in'eccentric relation to thestantially semi-spherical eye shell. Therefore, when this shell ismounted upon the pivotally supported pendulum injthe'doll head, theeye-pupil will not, 'inhthe open position of the eyejbe centered intheopen- 7 ing in the doll head Wall, assuming that the horizontal axis ofthis opening is parallel to the axis of oscillation. Also, the, centersof the eye pupils of the two spaced eyemembers may not be located. inthesame horizona tal plane, but the pupil'center of one mem' ber maybein'differently spaced relationjfrom the eyelid at the upper edge [of oneeye opening than the center of the pupil of. theother eye memberwithrespectto the'eyelid of the other eye opening. V

Again, in the molding of the doll heads,

. precisely the sameform and contour of the ;Therefore, in this case,even though the eye relation to theaxis of oscillat on of the eye headwall surrounding the eye openingsat opposite sides of the nose may notbee-produced, or in other words these parts of the head wall structuremay be non-symmetrical.

pupil, in the drawing of the shell may be exactly concentric, with theaxial centerline of the shell, since the major axis of the eye openingin the head wall is out of parallel member when it is mountedfiinthehead, the eye pupil will .not be centered in said openlng. Thus in thesecases, the simulation of the movement of a normal human eye is prac-'tically destroyed and it hasheretofore been necessary, to provide anadjustable .or universally swivelling connection between .theindividualeye members and the part of the eye; setting by which they arecarried. This results in added expense inthe manufacture of such devicesand also in an appreciable.

loss of time in the operationaof properly ap-- plying the eyemountingtothe doll head,'and which operation necessitates the employment of highlyskilled workers in the "m;- It is thepurpose of my presentinventiontoovercome these difiiculties which the prior art has experienced in themanufacture of'sleeping dolls and similar figures.

stood andap preciated, in Fig.7 of the draw ings I have shown ahorizontal section through the front portion a dollhead 5.

Inorde'r to enableflthe several advantages of my present disclosure to"be'fllllyunder- The doll headwall is produced under pres tional form bymeans of a suitable'mold. It is not, an infrequent occurrence that owingto the non-symmetrical disposition of the facial features in theoriginal sculpture from which the moldiis produced,that=thecorresponding features of the dollhead after removal from the mold, ofcourse, are in like non-symmetrical relation with respect to a hcentrallplane bisectingthe dollhead struclongitudinal axis through thewallof the subsure from wood pulp, papier mach or other compositionmaterial in a desired cross secture." Therefore, after the eye'openings7 are cutthrough the front wall of the doll head and said wall at theinner sides of these openings milled out to "provide the concavevsockets 8,.the major. axes of the elliptical shaped eye openings will befound not to ex s V tendin alignment with each other or in' pearallelplanes. This inaccuracy in the molding ofthedoll'headis clearlyillustrated in Fig. 7 of the drawings.

Uponthe inner side of the front wall of thedollhead: the supportingshaft 9 for the eye mounting is suitably secured with its axisextendingin parallel-relationto saidffront wall. Theeyemountingfincluding a plate or frame '10 of suitable form'issuspendedfrom this shaft. generally'indicated at 111 are positioned be- The eyemembers or shells tween the plate 10 and the respective sockets 8, therear edges of said shells'being engaged by the plate 10 wherebyoscillatory movement.

is transmitted to saideyeshells in the swing- *ing movement of the'plateon the supporting shaft 9. It'will be evident that if theshells 11 areall of one standard form or shape with the'eye pupil 12 and the eyelid13 prop-. erly painted thereon so that aline through horizontal axis ofwhich isparallel 'withthe axis of oscillation as shownat the left handside ofFig.7,the eye pupil of the other shell would be in eccentricrelation to the center of the other eye opening 7, as the horizontalaxis of this eye opening, as shownat the right hand side of Fig. 7, andindicated by the brokenlineA, isout ofparallel relation to the axisofthe shaft 9;.Inother ,Words,in

orderto obtain an accurate location of the eyepupil with relation to theedges of this opening 7 ,it is necessary that the center line throughthe eyepupil indicated at Bi-shall intersect the axis of oscillation atthe geometric center of theshell and extend at right angles to the majoraxial line A ofthe eye 0 enin Therefore, it is ap arent that the eyeshell to be associated with this latter openingcannot be of the samestandard form or shape as the eye shell associated with the left handopening of the dollhead wall.

The upwardly extending arms of these leversare engaged with the outer ends of the opposed slides having the punches45. and th'e'other horizontally extending arms of said levers arepositioned in overlapping relation and have slidably contacting camsurfaces 50. To the upper lever arm the upper end of a vertical rod 51is connected, the'lower endof which may be oper-' atively'connected witha suitable treadle. A coil spring 52 having its upper endsecured to theframe structure 15 has its lower "endattachedto the lower horizontalarm.of the other bell crank lever, said spring acting to it will beunderstood that when the rod51' is pulled downwardly, the two levers 48are rocked and their verticallyqextending arms are moved inwardly thusforcing the opposed slides. inwardly, and also transmitting asimilarinward movement through the levers 53to'the other slide 44. As will belater explainedin more detail, thelpunches and the 'bits 46 and47carried by these slides are thereby caused to produce" circularopenings in opposite sides of the eye shell to receive the shaft 9 andadditional slots or recesses in'the rear edge of said shell'and indefinite predetermined relationto the eye pupil on the surface therofk i7 In the operation of the above described a-pparatus, after theeye shellhas been drawn in the manner shown in 1 and 2 from the sheet ofcelluloid or other material, it is arrangedupon the supporting mandrel18 as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, the leveri38 being manipulated tolift thearm 29 so that aftertheeyeshell is placed on said mandrel andthe lever 38 released, the arm 29 will clampingly holdthe eyeshell uponthe semisphericalupper end offsa'id mandrel, the o a shellbein'gproperly -adjusted beneath the arm so that the pupil 12 on the eyeshell appears in substantially concentric relation to the lower edge ofthe sight opening 31 in the end of the arm 29. If the front wall of'thedoll' head is non-symmetrical and the long axis of theeye'openingthereinout of praallel relation to'theplane of said wall asindicated' at theright'hand side ;ofFig.-7,"this error isaccurately"calculated. The arm'29is then lifted and laterally rocked by" means of the handle lever38-to the proper extent which will'be indicated" on the degree scale 41by the Y arm 40,'such rocking movement being limited by oneor the otherof the stop screws 26, The

eye shell isthen shiftedupon, the upper end of the mandrel "18 and thepupil of said-{eye member positioned withrespect to the plane ofmovementhof the punches 45 andcutting bits 46'v and47 and with relationto the lower edge of the sight'opening 31. 1 The slides 44 are thensimultaneously actuated as above explained so that the shaftreceivingopenings 11 are formed-in the opposite sides of the eye shell wall bythe punches 45 which enter the openings 20 in the wall of the mandrel18.

Simultaneously the slots'or recesses 11 are c'utin the edge of the eyeshell by the cutting bits 46 and 47. The closed inner ends of theserecesses are thus located in definite predetermined relation 'to the eyepupil 12. After thus providing the eye shell with the'openings 11' andnotches or recesses 11*,theholdin arm 29 is-lifted and the eye" shellremoved from the mandrel.

The next operation is to trim or cut .the'

edge of the eye shell at its open end so that it will extend in parallelrelation with the innerends of the notches 'orrecesses' 11 and thus inthe same definite relation to the eye pupil I r 12; For-this purpose,Iemploy a trimming tool or machine, one embodiment of which Ihave shownin Fig. 6 ofi the drawings. 7 Referring to this figure, a hollow shaft53 is mounted "in; spaced bearings, (not shown),

supported in a suitable frame structure part ly illustrated at'54'. Toone end of this shaft cutting blades ,55 are suitably fixed. Said 7shaft maybe driveng by a belt engagedwith the wheel 56"fixed on saidshaft or by any other suitable" driving connections between said shaftand a'convenient sourceof power.
